SummaryMerchant hydrogen, the focus of this report, includes all hydrogen produced by one company for sale to another.The merchant hydrogen industry provides hydrogen used in industrial processes, including processes for the manufacture of gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, plastics, metals, agricultural fertilizer, pharmaceuticals and food oil products.

Other uses in areas such as food and semiconductor manufacturing, for example, while important, require much smaller volumes of hydrogen. Merchant hydrogen providers also serve emerging energy or fuel applications for transportation, although at present this market is quite small.

Total annual U.S. production of merchant hydrogen was over REDACTED in 2017. In comparison, the total world production of merchant hydrogen was nearly REDACTED. BCC Research forecasts that U.S. production of merchant hydrogen will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of REDACTED, approaching REDACTED by 2023. Globally, merchant hydrogen production is projected to grow at a CAGR of REDACTED, reaching more than REDACTED by 2023.
